Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Everyone’s Thoughts

The Wei family mother and daughter weren’t foolish; they quickly understood the situation.

Wei’s mother was a smart woman. "Don’t worry. As if I’d be afraid of them!"

After declining the Wei family’s offer for dinner and agreeing to go together the day after tomorrow afternoon to complete the procedures, Yunyi took her leave.

Why not go tomorrow and hand over the work? That was because the Wei family needed enough time to gather the money. Besides, once Yunyi took Wei Hongyan to formally complete the handover procedures, Sun Xiaoyan, the substitute, would have to get lost. Additionally, she wanted some peace and quiet before heading to the countryside. It was also a chance to give Sun Xiaoyan a surprise.

By the time she got home, Sun Xiaoyan was no longer at the door.

She opened the door and entered the courtyard. She then took out the vegetarian buns she had packed earlier from the state-owned restaurant. She planned to eat, rest for a while, and then wait for nightfall to take care of some business.

The Sun family sat in their house, all wearing gloomy expressions.

The Sun family’s eldest daughter-in-law, Ma Guiqin, wore a long face as she said, "Third Brother had a good life but chose not to live it. He had to go out and mess around. I don’t agree to borrowing money to bail him out."

At this moment, the Second Brother’s wife chimed in. "What Third Brother has done is such a huge scandal. Even if we spend everything we have, I’m afraid it won’t end well. There are so many mouths in this family waiting to be fed; we can’t all starve."

When Mrs. Sun heard what her daughters-in-law said, she was furious. "Have you no conscience? Eldest Brother, Second Brother, he’s your own younger brother! What do you two think?"

Sun Jianming, the eldest of the Sun family, grabbed a handful of his hair. "Mom, it’s not that we don’t want to save him, but given our family’s current situation, what do we possibly have to save him with?"

At that moment, Sun Aiming, the second son, coughed lightly. "Mom, if we want to save Third Brother, I’m afraid we still have to turn to Chuyunyi."

Sun Xiaoyan, standing to the side, was deeply conflicted. Chuyunyi’s attitude earlier that day had frightened her. She wanted to save her third brother, but she was also terrified of Chuyunyi’s anger being directed at her. If Chuyunyi said just one word, forget formally taking over the job—even her current substitute position would likely be gone.
